In "Cleaning the house," Woody’s life takes a wild turn when his rich Uncle Woodrow’s mysterious "Pride and Joy" arrives—only it’s not a person, but a mischievous bear that escapes a medicine show van and ends up at Woody’s doorstep. With the bear wreaking havoc in the house, Woody tries to play host, unaware of the chaos his good intentions are about to unleash. Dick Hall’s art, inked by Suzanne Seaborne, brings the slapstick antics to life, while Dan Gormley’s cover captures the absurdity of the moment perfectly.

As the getaway leads them to a remote mountain hideout, Woody begins to suspect the truth behind their story, leaving him trapped between a clever ruse and a very real danger.
